Puerto Montt is a professional football club from the port city of the same name, competing in the Chilean Liga de Ascenso. The club's full name is Club de Deportes Puerto Montt, and it was founded in 1983. They play their home games at the Estadio Regional de Chinquihue, a multi-purpose stadium overlooking the Reloncaví Sound. The team's colors are sky blue and white, reflecting the maritime identity of the Los Lagos Region. The club's history is marked by a memorable golden era in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when they achieved promotion to the Primera División and established themselves as a tough, defensively solid side, even qualifying for the Copa Libertadores in 2001. That period, led by iconic local players, remains the pinnacle of the club's achievements. In recent years, Puerto Montt has oscillated between the first and second divisions, often finding itself in promotion playoff battles. The current team is built around a strong defensive unit and looks to exploit set-pieces and counter-attacks. The local supporters, known as "Los Salmoneros" (The Salmon Farmers), are fiercely proud and provide unwavering support through the ups and downs. Club Deportes Puerto Montt is a central pillar of sporting life in southern Chile.
